Senate Bill 420 was adopted in 2003 to set up an identification-card program to identify legal users of medical marijuana. Benzor, who is a family practitioner in San Diego, said she fears the county is preparing for a permanent ban on dispensaries, making it difficult for medical users to obtain the drug in a safe environment. Right now, some users say they obtain their marijuana in free co-ops. "I have patients who benefit greatly from medical marijuana," said Benzor, who is allowed to recommend the drug to patients but may not help them purchase it. "These are regular people like you and me," she told the supervisors. "These are not stoners. " Supervisor Jeff Stone, a pharmacist, said there are prescription drugs that isolate one of the active ingredients in marijuana, and that chronically ill users of marijuana could find prescription alternatives.

Drug Policy (Commentary, Aug. 16) is unfair at best in presenting the true picture about why national leaders have particularly focused on marijuana use among youth.

16) is unfair at best in presenting the true picture about why national leaders have particularly focused on marijuana use among youth. Our decision to drive attention toward marijuana was borne primarily in new, unsettling scientific data pointing to marijuana use alone as a major risk factor in mental illness, roadside accidents, cognitive impairment and poor performance in school. The theory that marijuana users are more likely than nonusers to go on to other drugs — while indisputably true — ranks toward the middle of the list in an age when marijuana use alone by youths is causing major problems in treatment centers worldwide. It is precisely this new research that is forcing governments in Europe to reconsider their soft marijuana policies. Interestingly, the troubling facts about marijuana have not accompanied a widespread rise in arrests or incarceration for the use of that drug. By contrast, policy makers have wisely turned their attention to educational efforts, like the national antidrug media campaign. It’s not the magic bullet, of course, but it is surely better than doing nothing.
